just over two weeks earlier it was darrell vickers' jaw that dropped... (donald trump/(r) presidential nominee) "although the second amendment people, maybe there is." when the donald riffed on how gun supporters might stop hillary. (darrell vickers/trump supporter) "i can't believe he said it. it was a joke." darrell says he's still voting for trump. (donald trump/(r) presidential nominee) "we can't play games." we've seen one guy feed another chips behind the donald. hillary while a guy covered with stickers chewed over her speech. (jeanne moos/cnn national correspondent) "what are the different nicknames you've had?" (peter clinkscales/"sticker boy") "i've gotten sticker boy, sticker man, idiot." at a trump rally in texas we watched a when prayer was mentioned, and even climb... (donald trump/(r) presidential nominee) "to restore the ladder of success." his own invisible ladder. (jeanne moos/cnn national supporters from pranksters who manage to sneak in to clown for the cameras." pranksters like the guys who got behind "settle for hillary" shirts. at a

today darrell vickers said he was a little surprised. >> he should not have said it. the news media will have a heyday. >> reporter: but he defended trump. >> i believe that he has the moral character that we need and stuff. but he also has a little foot in the mouth disease. >> reporter: trump supporters point out that joe biden made what they claim is a similar joke during the democratic primaries in 2008. >> i guarantee you, barack obama ain't taking my shotguns so don't buy that malarkey. beretta, he's got a problem. >> there are some jokes you can't make. all of us know it whenever we pass through airport security lines. a presidential candidate shouldn't make jokes about assassination or armed insurrection. if that is really what he meant. the danger is a madman might take it seriously that an angry soul, passions inflamed, will trot out the thomas jefferson quote that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. it has happened before. sadly, it could happen again. former arizona congresswoman gabby giffords sa

. >> i have to tell you, darrell vickers, thank you. i really enjoyed having you on.ere so candid. thank you for coming on. my pleasure. thank you. >> let's just bring in the panel, caylee mcnarny is there, plau this is what everyone else is saying. if he would just stick to the script, kaley. what do you think he meant about that? >> i heard the comment. i was there live on brook's set. i heard it one time, i didn't think anything of it. i know the nra that the powerful guns aren't taken away, be it through amicus brief and the sport. but you're arguing your point about taking guns away. how. >> well, i don't consider this not sticking to the script. i understand liberals have interpreted this in a way that is unseemly but that's their fault for interpreting that way. it's worth mentioning within 27 minutes of him take -- he immediately from his clarified head that you can, and even if he didn't mean it, it's so close to the line. he's become like the andrew dice clay of politics. it's like you wind up in the situation where you're so interested in aplaling to the li

. >> darrell vickers, thank you. i really enjoyed having you on. and for -- you were so candid.you so much for coming on. >> my pleasure. thank you. >>> so let's just bring in the panel now. so he is a delightful man, right? he's an american. he's voting for donald trump, that's his business, but he was honest. he's not spinning. he's been saying exactly what everyone else has been saying, advisers to donald trump. critics of donald trump. if he would just stick to the script, kayleigh. what do you say about that? >> there are two ways to interpret the comment. i heard the comment, i heard it one time, i didn't think any of it. i know the nra is a powerful lobby, they will ensure their guns aren't taken away, be it with the supreme court, even if there are liberal justices -- >> what do you make of what he said? he said if he would just stick to the script? >> i didn't consider this not sticking to the script. i understand liberals and some conservatives have interpreted this in a way of that sun seemly, but that's their fault. within 27 minutes of him making the point, he immed
